The last week or so

March 14, 2012

Been remiss in updates the last week with work getting in the way of hobbies.  That said, we have had fun playing with dough and making soft pretzels (big hit in the house, they didn't last long) and Montreal Bagels. 


We also took our first crack at a Belgian yeast Imperial Stout, inspired by this beauty:






Lee's going for flavors of banana and chocolate with our brew.

Today, we have a light work day and hence a few fun projects planned:

- batch 2 of Montreal bagels
- batch 2 of feta cheese
- homemade meatballs (our son just saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and wants to know how to make them), homemade tomato sauce, and homemade mozzerella -- all of which our son will help us make including picking basil from the garden.
